FANTASY FOOTBALL

{"averagePoints":20.8,"percentOwned":43.9,"lastPoints":15.1,"pointsSEASON":62.3,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The face of conservative quarterback play, Smith has been among the bottom five in average depth of throw during each of the past eight seasons. That includes a 6.7 mark in 2016 that was higher than only Sam Bradford's. Smith's conservative play leads to high completion percentages, low interception totals and lots of post-catch help, but it also severely limits his fantasy production. Smith has never finished a season better than 13th at the position in fantasy points and was 22nd in 2016. Those in two-quarterback leagues shouldn't ignore Smith's shaky durability; he's missed at least one game during four of the past five years. Smith is a fringe QB2 with little upside, and whose leash is shorter than ever after the team traded up to select Patrick Mahomes in April's draft.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Thu May 25"},"positionRank":2,"playerId":8416,"percentChange":1.7,"averageDraftPosition":88,"fullName":"Alex Smith","mostRecentNews":{"news":null,"spin":"Ranked fourth in yards per attempt and leading the NFL in completion rate, Smith has emerged as a strong streaming quarterback over the first several successful weeks of the season for the Chiefs. The Redskins have allowed the 12th-most points per drive to opponents, dating back to the beginning of last season, so there is again valid reason to trust Smith as a matchup play in leagues of at least 12 teams.","date":"Tue Sep 26"},"projectedDifference":-4.817170021,"totalPoints":62.26,"projectedPoints":15.936163312}
